Is this guy ok? I’ve never had a pest so I’m not sure if this has something on it or if it’s just been neglected. Kept it quarantined for a month. It looked way worse before!

Question 1: is this plant looking good? Question 2: what is this white powder? I don’t spray her with anything and I don’t think it is dust. Is it ok?

Anything that flowers is getting its own post. Cool? If that flower looks unusual and alien-based, same deal. Like many of the odd S. African sucs, it is fairly agnostic as far as light wants. That is, it thrives on the bottom shelf under a relatively strong light (Mars Hydro 1000w, which is better suited to growing “crops”). Put it in the sun and the colors stay the same. The lavender and translucent blue is just 💋 Note that all the random pieces are bits I knocked off during the first week. ps Big green to the right got a spine into my knuckle/down to the bone. It’s a bit painful, and I did not hallucinate (dang).

Elephants are known to cry for emotional reasons like humans… so I only thought it would be appropriate to pot my string of tears in an elephant planter 💕

Does anyone know what the cacti on the left are called? The plant scanner doesn’t work on it! Thank you :)

Everyone else is grumbling and buying Xmas trees while I’m squeezing around everyone with a basket of Mammillaria elongata, box of coarse sand, fungicide. I’m not a huge fan of the lady finger variety, but this one is a Pink N y m ph. I couldn’t resist. The Monstrose was a no-brainer. Anything resembling a sci-fi dwelling is coming home with me. Included is a picture of the current setup. I had to lower my table, but the grow lights on there are now unnecessary even on a cloudy day. I’ll post more about that once I get the landscape right.

What should I do to help this poor guy out? 🌱 it recently lost one of its petals and I replanted it in the dirt. Hoping it’ll sprout some roots but it is not looking too well any tips?

Any tips on mass propagation? I have a huge succulent I just repotted and all of these guys came from it. Excited to see if I can get a bunch of babies going. The original succulent came from my boyfriends great grandmother who’s mom had the OG succulent 😊 so I’d love to gift little babies to his nieces and nephews. (11 of them lol)

I am trying to be sure that this is normal or scale. It came with these spots that look like wax

Hi everyone! I am a fairly new plant beginner and I just picked up a “Flaming Katy” from the store and would love some recommendations on how to best take care of this succulent? If anyone has any watering, space/location and lighting suggestions- I would very much appreciate it! Also, there is one leaf that looks like it is kind of dying. Not exactly sure on how to revive. Thanks so much :)

Found tucked in the back under the shelf at a Home Depot. It’s not the Holy Grail of Parodia, but it sure is cool. He’s heavy, like a fat tomato, and the flowers are brilliant (image for reference).

I could use some help identifying this little fella. Anyone have an idea as to what this is?

Hi everyone! Idk what’s wrong with my thread agave!? I looked at it this morning and most of it was droopy and soft. I water it when it’s dry and it’s under a purple plant light. Any suggestions?
